This is confusing but it looks like I'm back to not getting into United Clubs with the Amex Platinum.
You can buy the regular Priority Pass, IIRC $130 or so for the cheapest version, where you then pay about $30 per lounge visit. Don't forget that the regular AmEx Plat lets you use US lounges (so far) when flying any airline.
